@noiob good to know!
re: Computer help request urgent
@noiob yeah, I tried it again and the fans all spun up but no beep. Then I tried it another time and now the PSU fan just shudders and goes dead.
re: Computer help request urgent
@Vordus your computer has a speaker? dang
re: Computer help request urgent
@noiob wait, do computers not go beep any more? Have I been imagining the beep in my head every time I switched a computer on?
re: Computer help request urgent
@Vordus usually mainboards still have a header for a beeper but don't have one soldered to the board. Actually, I'm not sure if my board even has the header anymore, but it has four LEDs for diagnostic purposes (the really fancy boards have 7-segment displays for POST codes)
re: Computer help request urgent
@Vordus that said, you can just check if you have a beeper, it's usually a centimeter-diameter plastic cylinder
re: Computer help request urgent
@Vordus also since I'm seeing that it's semi-modular: Do not reuse the cables with a new PSU, they're not standardized and I've heard of people frying their parts by assuming (as it is anywhere else in a compute) that if it fits it's probably compatible
